How to draw this roof?

[Jason]

To most of your experienced reviteers, this roof is simple to draw. But I don't even know to how to begin.

How do you draw the concave portion of the roof and integrated into the lower roof over the entrance and tie it into the main roof and the gable portion over the door? Can all this be done in one?

Thanks Steve. Silly me. I have been sitting here waiting for a reply. Here it is.

Jason,
Try breaking the roof down into its component parts. Start with the main gable form and add other pieces. Use the Jon Roof tools to connect the roofs to walls and to each other.
The curved portion of the roof should be created using the Roof by Extrusion option.
Check out the roof tutorials. They provide a pretty good start in how to create roofs of various types.
